Question

3. Name the molecule that would be destroyed (denatured) within the membrane at 70°C

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - Protein molecule.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is the outer membrane of the cell that differentiates the external environment from the internal components of the cell. The cell membrane is made up of two major components that are lipids and proteins.

Proteins are present as channels and in the form of membrane proteins in between the lipid bilayer. Protein is the molecule that denatured or destroyed at high temperatures such as 70 degrees.
